I came here to support Ukraine because it deserves it. This is a free country. And I feel that this country has always deserved freedom — for the sake of its children, for the sake of the kindness of these people who sincerely accept and appreciate you. For me, it is a pride — that Ukrainians are sincerely grateful to me for coming to help their country.

I am also here because I like serving in the army. The Ukrainian army is very powerful and technologically advanced. There is everything here that unites forces and inspires hearts: strength, unity, energy. And this is what I like.

I advise those who want to come to Ukraine to come prepared psychologically and physically, because this is a real war. You should not come here if you want to play around. You also have to be very disciplined, because a lot depends on discipline, especially on the battlefield.

During my time here, I had the opportunity to serve with Argentines, Brazilians, Peruvians, Americans. I have good relations with all of them, but I especially became friends with the Peruvians. It is nice to serve with people who truly support each other as friends. Our unity with the Ukrainian military gives us the strength that moves us forward.

Glory to Ukraine!
